TAYLOR J. I am of the opinion that Batchelor & Co Pty Ltd v Websdale [F18] was rightly decided and that, as the Full Court considered, it disposed of the appellant's contention as to the meaning of s. 24 of the Money-lenders and Infants Loans Act, 1941-1961 (N.S.W.). On the other points raised by the appellant I do not wish to add anything to the observations already made by McTiernan J. Accordingly I would dismiss the appeal.
